All hope seemed lost for the Washington Commanders when Dallas wide receiver KaVontae Turpin returned a kickoff 99 yards for a touchdown with just over two minutes left. The Cowboys were ahead 27-17.
The Commanders went on offense again, got into field goal range and quickly sent kicker Austin Seibert out for a 51-yard field goal to bring the game to one point. Washington had two timeouts left and tried to force the defense to stop to get the ball back.
With 34 seconds left, the Commanders got their stop and the ball back. What happened next was unbelievable, but par for the course in this crazy game.
quarterback Jayden Daniels connected with wide receiver Terry McLaurin for a miraculous 86-yard touchdown, making the game 27-26 with less than 20 seconds left.

Depending on how you looked at this game, what happened next was even more incredible – or predictable. Seibert, who hadn't missed an extra point all year, missed his second point of the game, leaving the Cowboys ahead 27-26.
That was it. Dallas added another late, meaningless touchdown to make it 34-26, but it was Seibert's miss – on a low snap – that ended any possible chance of another miracle win for Washington.
